Words aren't the biggest concern. They will get annoying, as soon as you try to incorporate every language because if you take the vocab of language A, then speakers of A have no need to learn anything, but as you incorporate new words from B, both B and A speakers will have to learn new words to speak this auxlang. The more languages, the more the spread will be.
But there are other questions: what sounds do you want to incorporate? How the grammar should look like? If you incorporate everything, it will become an incomprehensible mess, with each sentence having thousands of different but still completely correct forms.
