Personal tip: do NOT summon Shura to fight Midir. It's highly likely that you will struggle more with her and for a few reasons:

1) Midir can change target during an attack, because he attacks for so long. It means that if Midir changes target at the wrong moment, you can get yourself caught in an attack you were prepared for.

2)The use of summons in Dark Souls 3 is simple: need an other target? Summon. Need good sources of damage? Summon. In that fight, Shura's damage, while ok should she hit midir's head, are low, and she hasn't much tankiness.

3)Shura AI like every other AI doesn't like reacting to attacks, however not dodging in this fight is extremely dangerous as a player. Therefore if Midir does the beam attack, 80% of the time she will die because her healthpool won't be enough, and she is unable to dodge.

4)Doing it alone allows you to always see what Midir is doing, which isn't the case when Midir is targeting someone else. Midir has some decent visual and audio cues to alert you of what he is doing.

That said, summoning players can help you, as they'll know how to properly space themselves and will dodge most of Midir's attacks. Also Midir hardly gets harder in NG+ as his defenses doesn't go up and his health barely raises. So long as you can tank one attack from Midir he won't be as difficult
