What elementals and outsiders, if any, are native to the planes of shadow or limbo? So far I have nothing for shadow and only Slaadi for limbo. Is there anything else?

I'd suggest looking at the Planar Encounters index of the Planar Handbook (pages 187 and 189 in particular).

In addition, there may be some more in these lists:

Limbo:
Dragon, Planar, Chaos
Energon, Xac-Yij
Entropic Reaper
Githzerai
Limbo Stalker
Slaad, Black
Slaad, Blue
Slaad, Death
Slaad, Gormeel
Slaad, Gray
Slaad, Green
Slaad, Mud
Slaad, Red
Slaad, White

Shadow:
Cloaker, Shadowcloak Elder
Darkweaver
Elemental, Shadow
Ephemera, Dusk Beast
Ephemera, Ecalypse
Ephemera, Umbral Banyan
Genie, Khayal
Golem, Shadesteel
Golem, Shadesteel, Greater
Nightshade, Nightcrawler
Nightshade, Nighthaunt
Nightshade, Nightwalker
Nightshade, Nightwing
Shadar-Kai
Shadow Beast, Ghirrash
Shadow Beast, Khumat
Shadow Beast, Thaskor
Shadow Eft
Shadow Jelly
Shadow Mastiff
Shadow Spider
Skiurid

Limbo has the chaos beasts, limbo stalker, and the anarchic creature template. I think the neutral planes tend to get ignored in favor of good & especially evil creatures.

Plane of shadow has the dark creature & shadow creature templates. The ephemerals, the shadowswfyt, shadow jelly, dark creepers/stalkers, shadow elementals, shades, and krinth.

These are from Manual of the Planes, Planar Handbook, Fiend Folio, Tome of Magic, and Champions of Ruin. Dragon #299 also has shadowvig, veserab, and blood horse.

Oops, just re-read the OP: if you are only after elementals and outsiders, you can disregard a fair chunk of my lists.

Yeah I saw that Horizon walkers that take the shifting ability get +1 on attack and damage rolls against outsiders/elementals native to shifting planes like limbo and shadow and was thinking “so Slaadi and what else?”

Limbo also have Neraphim, and Pandemonium Beast (Dungeon #124) - as unique variant of Advanced Chaos Beast; and Slaad Lords - Ygorl, Ssendam, and Bazim-Gorag

Plane of Shadow - Darkness Pseudo-Elementals (Dragon #322), and - by the Kingdoms of Kalamar - Demon, Foulpitch (Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene)

EDIT:
Also, Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave have Dark Earth Elemental. Like all Dark Creatures, its native plane is Plane of Shadow.
