Via email from Ry is this web page on experiments with both black powder and smokeless powder where the experimenter fails to get ignition of gun powder with static electricity.
I wouldn’t count on static electricity not igniting the powder but if you were hoping to use it as an ignition source you probably would be disappointed.
