Not at all, the question is whether as part of the Feast of Tabernacles the Jews celebrated the annual enthronement of YHWH. The fact is the Jews added ceremonies and so why could they not have celebrated the annual enthronement of YHWH (with a physical Ark or not)?
It is certainly not coincidental that the Chronicler linked Ps. 96 with 1 Chronicles 16 (the Ark's ascension) which has (deutero) Isaianic themes is hardly coincidental.
