While playing the mission Attican Traverse: The Rachni, there are a lot of gestation pods in the tunnels that are relatively easy to burn with the flamethrower the krogan soldiers drop. Is there any benefit to doing this as opposed to just walking by them?

Spore pods explode when you get near them, and do considerable damage.
Gestation pods release a little swarmer if you get near them, which isn't really dangerous in and of itself, but they can keep your shields from recharging.
Since you really don't get anything per-kill in this game (except for achievements), you might be tempted ignore both types unless you're going to be getting close to them for some reason. (Either pickups behind them, or they block the way forward)
However, I'd suggest ending all of them - but you may wish to conserve flamethrower ammo and use your powers instead. I find shockwave does a decent job against the pods and the webbing that blocks your path in areas.
Also note that even if you manage to snake your way through a whole group of them, your AI squadmates will still bumble into them on their own, which means damage and tiny bugs regardless.
