Indeed. By design, `org-insert-link' is synchronous - it expects the
link and description to be available upon request.

What you can do is (1) make url descriptions be something like <title to
be retrieved>; (2) add an :after advice for `org-insert-link' that will
queue asynchronous url fetching; (3) replace <title to be retrieved>
with the fetched title upon finishing the request. If the request fails,
the description will remain <title to be retrieved>.

Or you can run description retrieval independently, as a minor mode
that will search for <title to be retrieved> marks and try to fetch
them.
