In GeoServer 2.8 under "Edit Layer" > "Publishing" > "WMS Settings" there is
a tick box labled "Opaque". I can't find any documentation on this ans want
to clarify what this setting does.

It generates the same flag in the WMS capabilites output, which clients can
use to determine
that the layer is only suitable as a backdrop, but should not be used as an
overlay.
It's just informational though, the client can still ask to use that layer
as an overlay if it wants to

It is a way of signalling to clients that this layer is hard to see through and should be used as a baselayer. It maps directly to the opaque layer attribute in the GetCapabilities document (see table 6, p30 of the spec).
