10,000g sounds pretty rough. Are there any existing electronics that we would expect to survive this?

Yes. Guided munitions. Some artillery shells incorporate guidance electronics that survive these sort of conditions.
Yes but guided munitions are compact lumps of steel, not squishy rocket tanks full of liquid. The forces are also all in one direction, first in the positive direction from launch, and then in the negative direction from atmospheric deceleration.

This will have lateral forces, then sudden relaxation of those forces (shock unloading) and then sudden vertical forces when it hits dense atmosphere.
