If it was my kitchen, I'd want to know what's in that wall. It would be
no big deal to slap in a coupla cripple studs and replace a section of
drywall that was covered by cabinets - I'd think it less trouble than a
workaround.

I agrre it pretty easy to pull out the existing drywall and see whats
going on especially when its all going to be hidden by the cabinets
anyway.
