The idea would be to have the front and back flush with the wood and the frame would hold it in by being ever so slightly tighter than 2'x4'. Once the frame is built you'd just squeeze in the insulation.

My much handier than me Father in law suggested this as a way to save cutting tons of notches and it also frees up a bit of frontal/rear surface area at the expense of the sides.
That will work fine. I did my wall panels this way
