I think I might be feeding too much as I have noticed slight changes in water quality/clarity and surface film.

I have historically fed once per day; flip-flopping between mysis and spirulina brine. I have now switched foods to PEMysis and Cyclop-eeze.

My fish load:

2 clowns
2 Bangaii cardinals
1 YWG
Various CUC

Any thoughts on scaling back to only feeding every other day?

How much once per day? Would be the question.
A lot of people feed only every other day, but I understand our need to feed daily.
For that # of fish and daily feeding of frozen, I would feed 1/2 cube per day max.
Still probably get adequate amounts of skimmate from leftovers.
If you feed daily it is probably for your need not theirs and thats OK. Just be willing to do the extra tank maintance and you'll be OK.
