I'd like to avoid defun* as much as possible, because it may be harder
to read. This is also the reason why it wasn't included in core Elisp.

It is possible with

  (memq 'draft (plist-get info :export-options))

However, Rasmus suggested to give up the export option and use a global
variable, instead.

It was also suggested that "draft" wasn't the most accurate description
for this option. So, ultimately, it might not be related to LaTeX option
"draft".

Thank you for the feedback.
