What I’ve seen done is that you don’t need to frame the walls. You use foam board insulation glued to the concrete walls. Then you can actually glue the sheetrock directly to the foam board. All your electrical would then be inside your exterior framed wall.
Of course, it is too late now since you already put in the interior framing. At this point, the only potential risk is a fire path behind your wall. Not sure about codes in your area. You might want to just double check that.

Glueing sheetrock to the foam board I think is against IRC, which requires backing, either 2x framing members or furring strips (or other structural members like metal).
