Try this, https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9078e1a9e56bfdc08e2e2a43/w/e90a6414e94ad7a528f0c503/e/0dc67c60ca9f44336ae2ae9c

The main problems are stemming from poorly restrained geometry on the sketch. Theses overlaps at the insection of the circles and the spline mean that the draft will not follow the tangent faces around the part.

I added some tangent constraints in my part and cleaned the sketch up and the draft work perfectly as expected.

However, for this part, you could just extrude with a taper that is unless you want to do some fancy split line draft.

This is my first play with the split line draft, it works rather nicely. I also added a scuplt face FS to form the top and bottom and the Surface Text FS.
