Axioms are only useful if they are widely accepted and they create an useful system. The modern axiomatic system of mathematics was created to support an already useful system, and they are (mostly) based on actual indisputable realities of our world.
The main axiom of panpsychism, if I understand correctly, is that all or most objects of reality have a mind. Now, as an axiom in itself it is pretty imprecise and not self-evident at all, as it depends on the definition of "mind". Also, it doesn't seem to create testable or useful theories out of that axiom.
