LGTM in general. Note that I proposed (and never followed up on) a
similar patch in the past:
https://orgmode.org/list/87pnauvxht.fsf@localhost

I like that you introduced an option to set default description to
string, but I have several comments on the patch itself.

It looks like you removed condition-case used to catch errors on
org-link-make-description function. I am pretty sure that it is not
intentional.

Similar condition-case could also be used for the :default-description
function.

+`:default-description'
+
+  String or function used as a default when prompting users for a
+  link's description. A string is used as-is, a function is
+  called with the full link text as the sole argument, and should
+  return a single string.

Why not two arguments like in org-link-make-description-function?

Best,
