I'm willing to try, but I expect it would be hard to tell from a photo.

Thinking about this some more, as much depends on the duty cycle of the flash unit as the charge time/voltage.
At the end of the day, it's up to you how far you want to push the envelope. How expensive is this flash unit and can you afford to accidentally cook it?

In regard to P-hack's comment about strobes, I've seen slaved strobe units used in a photographic studio.
These were self contained, mains voltage units that were triggered by the flash of the camera. I can't give you any details though, I only worked there briefly, many years ago.
