I have the 10g boil coil in my 9gal brew pot for 5gal batches (7gal preboil). If memory serves, that element is 3750W. The only thing that I haven't been super happy with is that it isn't easy to take out and clean. You basically have to clean it in the pot which isn't too bad, but it would be nice if it just unplugged and pulled out.
So, it brings the wort up to a boil plenty quick. I control it with a TA4 based PID controller that I put together but it is functionally the same as the commercial electric brew controllers out there. There is actually an equation on Blichmann's site that lets you determine the time to a boil for a given volume of liquid and boil coil size. If memory servers, it was pretty close.
Since the 5kW heater for 20g is a bit lower ratio than 3.75W for 10G, I would expect the time to boil to be somewhat longer than what I see. I think even if it was 50% long for mine, it would be fine. After brewing electric, I wouldn't want to go back to propane.
As a side note on the Boil Coil, I have dry fired mine several times by accident (forget to turn off the heater when running strike water into the tun) and it has survived with no issues at all and I have never had any scorching issues.
Edit - I went and found the equation: Ramp Rate in °F/minute = 0.0068 X Watts / gallons
