Any hurdles with CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) process and it's processing time ?

I have been a naturalized US Citizen since 2015 (approx 10 years). My wife, currently in India, will get her immigrant visa soon. She is pregnant with our first child and due in 3 months.
We are considering delivery in India (in July 2025) due to some medical complications and don't want to travel to US for delivery. We will apply for CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) after the birth of the child.

How much time does this process normally take? Can there be any hurdles with this process or something we need to be mindful of?
