If you have iCloud backups then you should be OK except for a few odds and ends. See this:
iCloud backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device. iCloud backups don't include:
Data that's already stored in the cloud, like contacts, calendars, notes, My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
Data stored in other cloud services, like Gmail and Exchange mail
Apple Pay information and settings
Touch ID settings
Content you didn't get directly from iTunes, App, or iBooks Stores, like imported MP3s, videos, or CDs
iTunes in the Cloud and App Store content
If it's still available in the iTunes, App, or iBooks Store, you can tap to re-download your already purchased content.
Learn how to manage your iCloud storage or delete iCloud backups that you no longer need.
An iTunes backup includes nearly all of your device's data and settings. An iTunes backup doesn't include:
Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to iBooks
You can back up this content using Transfer Purchases in iTunes.
Content synced from iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
Photos already stored in the cloud, like My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
Touch ID settings
Apple Pay information and settings
Health and Keychain data
To back up Health and Keychain data, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.
Find your iTunes backups on your Mac or PC and learn to delete backups that you don't need.
