Hi Andrea,
There is now a new option that only draws the label if it fully fits
inside the polygon: see
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/dc4049ddff09cc1b324dd95f48df29abef92f90e

so - this is part of the solution of what you want.
In my case I always want the label to be outside of the polygon,
although in some rare cases the label may fit inside the polygon (when
zoomed a lot).
Greetings,
Andreas
