Yes, there's a very big chance it's true.

At least I can say that after confirming it for a Vista to 7 upgrade.

All needed (missing) drivers that were already installed in Vista were kept for Win7 as well.

In your case:
Use all the latest Win7 drivers and only update those available for 8 after the upgrade.
You'll have to see for yourself how the upgrade goes.

Good luck.
