In Avengers: Endgame the final battle features both
Chitauri and Outriders
However, I was under the impression all the
Chitauri were killed in 2012, so 2014 Thanos shouldn't have them.
So, did they come back or were they still around post-Avengers? If they were, where were they in Avengers: Infinity War at Wakanda?

The Chitauri weren't completely wiped out in Avengers as we see one member of the Chitauri still alive in The Collector's collection in Guardians of the Galaxy.
As such we can assume that the nuke blast in Avengers only killed those being controlled by the mothership that it blew up and not the entire army.
We also know of The Other, the Chitauri leader, who survived up until some point in Guardians of the Galaxy when Ronan kills him. This backs up the theory that again not all of the Chitauri were killed.
Click to enlarge.
A deleted scene from Avengers: Infinity War also shows a member of the Chitauri working on Nebula and guarding her before she escapes. This is non-canon (as it was changed for the film) but shows that the film's creators might have believed them to have survived.

Although I agree that because we saw the Chitauri in "The Avengers" die, doesn't necessarily mean that all Chitauri died then, in my opinion none of the facts you present serve as an answer. The Chitauri in the Collector's collection was held in a showcase and was probably dead, the sole fact that their leader surviving until GOTG doesn't prove that the Chitauri as a race survived as well, while the scene in IW was deleted and as you yourself said, cannot serve as a canon evidence. Even its CGI was incomplete; who knows what they did want to show.
