Sounds like an old problem in Pgpool-II 3.6.2. You should upgrade to
the latest version: 3.6.6.

But that requires PostgreSQL to accept 20k concurrent connections or
40k connections (num_init_children * max_pool), which I have never
seen in the field. Probably you should test out with PostgreSQL
whether it works with 20k concurrent connections first.
