The pins are quite close to each other, wouldn't 20kV just jump between them?

    True, didn't think of that.

    I guess a much lower voltage of let's say 200 volts would kill a device just as effectively and probably wouldn't arc itself.

    Another option would be a smart device that first senses some current and only then dumps the 20kV.
