"весь" is a curious little word that can act as a pronoun or adjective. I think here it is an adjective and is being used the same way we English speakers use it when we say "we all." I don't know why DL separated those two words because the literal translation works fine as, "We all are afraid."

Мы всего боимся/Мы боимся всех. You wouldn't be wrong to say "Нам всё/все страшно".

I think "We are all scared". "We all are scared" sounds rather poetic or philosophical. It could also be used to emphasize the "all" part ("I am scared" - "We all are scared".) So... more limited usage in my opinion.
