IP detection, iRules optimization

The LTM can handle that amount of data. Using data groups for this is exactly what you want to do, it will provide the most efficient way to handle this. While there are a few challenges to overcome scanning through 20 different data groups, this can be done. The optimal way to deal with IPs is using the Address Data group along with matchclass to check it. There may be other ways to handle this depending on the data. There might be a more efficient way to do this, but without the data that is hard to say. Furthermore, without knowing your hardware it is tough to say what level of strain this may put on your system.
