If your application supports iOS 7, it will not be rejected. One of my apps was recently approved (a month ago) that have no @ 3x images.
But it must be confirmed for an application developed in iOS 8
Edit
For information:
The application was already in the AppStore, and I am providing an update.
Found from What's New on iOS 8
Support for the new screen scale The iPhone 6 Plus uses the new Retina HD display with a 3.0 screen scale. For the best experience with these devices, add new illustrations designed for this on-screen bar. In Xcode 6, asset catalogs can include 1x, 2x, and 3x images; just add new images and iOS will choose the right assets when working on the iPhone 6 Plus. IOS image behavior also recognizes the @ 3x suffix.
I am afraid that you need to provide @ 3x images for all asset images if you are going to publish your application for iOS 8.0 and for iPhone 6 plus. As stated clearly, "iOS image upload behavior also recognizes the @ 3x suffix."
I suggest you include @ 3x images before you go for approval.
