In recent years, a class of compact objects called gravastars have drawn immense interest as regular solutions to end state stellar collapse. Since the energy density involved in collapse process is expected to be high, it is a natural choice to study such compact objects in context of modified gravity theories which reduce to General Relativity (GR) in the low energy regime. We have already framed a model of gravastar in such a modified gravity framework involving extra dimensional Randall-Sundrum (RS) single brane gravity~[Phys. Rev. D \textbf{102}, 024037 (2020)] \cite{Sengupta1}. As a sequel in the present paper we substantially improve our previous model by choosing the Kuchowicz function as one of the metric potentials, which leads to many new interesting results and physical features from our analysis as discussed in this paper. Also, we provide essential additional stability checks on our gravastar model to investigate the possibility of any instability creeping in due to the higher dimensional framework. Our present improved gravastar model is found to clear all the stability checks successfully. Very interestingly, the static spherically symmetric matter distributions are found to accommodate both classes of solutions obeying and violating the modified energy conditions on the RS brane as we find in this work. We can conclude from our analysis that the Kuchowicz metric potential is very effective for describing regular solutions to compact objects at substantially high energies on the 3-brane.
