So basically some players have started to just attacking with all their workers right from the beginning of the match. I have encountered this is 2v2, where it sort of works (I guess because of the fact that they have 2 sets of workers, attacking 1 player (who has 1 set of workers), at least until the second player comes up to help (if he does)). So I am not sure if this works at all in 1v1 or other matchups, but anyways.
What would be the best reaction to this?

Here is one alternate idea. If both opponents send their workers to attack you, you can take all of your workers and go attack your opponents' (now empty) bases. Meanwhile, your teammate should build up, focusing on getting their first marine/zealot/zerglings up ASAP.
This means your opponents have to do one of the following:
The main principle here is that if they both send their first 6 workers, it's going to be 12 vs 7-8 defenders, which unless you have incredible micro skills, you're going to lose. And they are going to reach you before you have any defenses, sometimes before you even have a supply depot finished. So, do not engage, and instead string them out until your ally can put @tenfour's advice into play: build a strong economy which will overwhelm them, since they have at most 1-2 workers at home.
