Sounds extremely southern to me. Not in a pejorative way, but in a way that seems really odd when said by a Northeastern US English speaker.

Southerner here. The correct form is "all a y'alls."

Yes, but if you use "y'all" it either means that you don't think southerners are idiots, or that you are ironically acting like you don't think they are idiots.
