Normally the capacitance alone is enough to protect the power lines. Even a 0.1 uF cap will absorb most of the zap. If you want to make extra sure, use the PI filter. Unfortunately, odds are high that you'll have issues on your other lines long before you have issues with ESD getting on your power. Start by filtering/protecting your MCU's reset line, even if it doesn't go over a cable.
Almost every charger and regulator out there nowadays has an absolute max of 6V. If you have a USB rated TVS and some capacitance on the 5V bus, you probably won't have problems there. You can use a high voltage cap if you want, and put it close to the barrel jack.
For buttons, use a series resistor (as large as you can accept without causing problems with your pullup or pulldown) and a shunt cap. Put the resistor near the button and put the cap near the IC where the signal goes. You probably don't need TVS on the buttons, but it is a good idea to put it in the layout (close to the IC) in case it is needed. A wide variety of 0402 sized ESD diodes are available. If you have a large series resistance between the ESD gun and the IC, the ESD diode will not have to dissipate much energy. The capacitor will help prevent steep dV/dt.
Most importantly, you need to test. You can't solve ESD analytically. You can give it your best shot, but then you need to test to verify.
The two main problems you get from ESD are:
- IC or transistor inputs damaged (fix with capacitance or ESD diodes
or TVS)
- poorly terminated inputs toggle due to pulse coupling and cause some undesired behavior such as reboot/reset/poweroff.
Rarely does ESD damage anything other than an IC input.
Also make sure you consider case 2. Any reset inputs or interrupt inputs need to be scrutinized. An internal 200k (or whatever) pullup may not be enough. You may want to add either a cap, or a stronger pullup/pulldown.
Finally, the best defense against ESD, when possible, is to keep the gun away from the components by recessing them within a plastic housing. That is mainly a mechanical design issue, though. If the gun tip cannot get near the components, there will be no discharge in the first place.

you can use the electronic part distributors website and search "TVS diode" of "ESD suppressors" and find parts with ultra low capacitance. there are many choices for you. a sample Specifications as below:
