I have just a few minor comments for your consideration, otherwise good to go:

1. RFC 5883 is a normative reference but is only mentioned once in the
introduction as background context. Just checking that all references are
indeed normative, nothing informative.

2. Looks like secdir already gave their blessing on the security considerations
section but you may want to consider saying something like there are no
additional security considerations introduced by using p2mp BFD in the VRRP
context beyond those already covered in the referenced RFCs (if indeed that is
true).

3. For an applicability document, there's no discussion of how operators
configure or manage this. You do have this in the security section: "The
operation of either protocol is not changed." which may cover it. But including
something about BFD detection timers should be configured shorter than the
relevant VRRP failure detection interval may be helpful somewhere in the draft.
*edit* I'm just seeing an email on the list to discuss a new operational
considerations section. Good call. As long as this point is being made in there
you are golden.
