Core's 'datetime' form element creates non-semantic h4 as the field label with the assumption that multiple child elements are involved which is not always the case. When the date type is 'Date only', there is only going to be a single input field so the normal label should be used in this case.
Create a custom field with subfield 'date' and date type 'Date only'. When the widget is datetime_default, you will see some weird html that makes our flex layout look off cause of the different html styling. Core's widget does the same and returns alot of unnecessary markup.
<div data-drupal-selector="edit-field-some-date-0-value" class="form-item form-datetime-wrapper">
<h4 class="form-item__label">Some Date</h4>
<div id="edit-field-some-date-0-value" class="form-items-inline">
<div class="js-form-item form-item js-form-type-date form-type--date js-form-item-field-some-date-0-value-date form-item--field-some-date-0-value-date form-item--no-label">
<label for="edit-field-some-date-0-value-date" class="form-item__label visually-hidden">Date</label>
<input data-drupal-selector="edit-field-some-date-0-value-date" type="date" id="edit-field-some-date-0-value-date" name="field_some_date[0][value][date]" value="" size="12" class="form-date form-element form-element--type-date form-element--api-date">
</div>
</div>
</div>
