If you are being slowed down by a very slow xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org, the workaround is:

export KRAMDOWN_OFFLINE=true

KRAMDOWN_OFFLINE=true kdrfc my-draft.md

(I don’t know how to do this in Windows, unfortunately.)

The effect is that kramdown-rfc assumes you have no network connectivity at all and either uses possibly stale cache copies or, if there is none, fabricates some obvious placeholder.
