We've been distributing our app on the App Store for over a year (and on TestFlight for even longer) and rarely have any rejections and I can't recall any of them being due to using Cordova. I will say though, if the decision had been mine, I would have built it with something else. Either fully native with Swift or maybe Xamarin (.NET). Cordova can be challenging to work with and I've found on my side projects that Xcode is actually well-suited for native apps (I have read bad reviews from some developers with large projects and lots of external libraries though)
