How significant an issue do you think that is?
Very, if you have 20K lists.
That's not the issue I was asking about. That issue is if the selection dropdown is hidden from any page that shows all the items, then in the case where there are say 35 items and the default 10 per page shows the first of 4 pages and you select 50 per page from the dropdown then all 35 are on a page with no dropdown, and since there is no dropdown you can't easily go back to a fewer number per page, at least if the browsers back button won't do it for some reason.
Also, the issue isn't always the number of lists. Consider <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/?all-lists> which shows only 2 (or 4 if you can see the hidden ones) lists, but even so, <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/latest> has over 2500 threads. This is relevant because, currently at least, pagination is done in a common django_mailman3 meth and any change will apply globally.
I would be more in favor of a larger default (25 or 50, even 100), although I live in a bandwidth-rich country. Maybe that's not feasible in many places. Maybe we need another issue/MR to configure the default number of items per page.
