When running waste pipes behind kitchen units and exiting through the wall is it ok if the elbow is tight to the wall so one side of the elbow is sat in the hole. My concern is if it starts leaking you would never no. It would just go in the cavity.

pushfit is fine if fitted well. if you use glued then make sure its upvc as abs is not suitable for outside.
There are no stringent regulations for waste pipes unlike gas.
So the situation is just that they should be made in a workmanlike manner.
Its generally considered that solvent weld is most unlikely to ever fail. Less likely than pushfit.
But it is all down to the integrity of the fitter to do it well.

ABS can be used outside, but recommendation is it is painted with gloss paint to provide a degree of protection from the UV in sunlight. I've seen more degraded push fit pipework due to sunlight than I have ABS.
