I’m making the second round of a Pilsner and was going to just rack my new beer onto the yeast cake of the beer I’m kegging that day. I could wash the yeast if that would bring a big benefit but it’s a chunk of work that I would rather avoid if possible.

Any reason I should really wash this yeast?
 
No, no reason to rinse the yeast.
However, if you want you can remove a bit of the yeast. The full cake is more than needed.
