IONIC builds on top of Cordova, so you will have Cordova either way. The only difference is that IONIC is a UI framework which requires you to rewrite your app for IONIC, while with plain Cordova, you probably only have to do some minor adaptions and optimizations.
Thanks. From what you say it seems that there is not much value in rewriting a well designed angular 2 app (using material design guidelines) in Ionic 2. I was thinking that using Ionic will help in avoiding apple app store rejections because of the Apple's stringent UI design guidelines.
