Alternative axiom scheme for ZF(C)

That axiom is equivalent to

forall y exists x (y in x)

from which one can derive the existence of singletons (via the subset
axiom) and not much else. Considering that singletons are usually derived
from the axiom of pairing, I don't think it will eliminate any normal ZFC
axioms.
