Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series([pd.NaT], dtype="datetime64[ns]")
s.dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")

Issue Description

Since Pandas 1.4.0 a warning is raised: FutureWarning: In a future version, the Index constructor will not infer numeric dtypes when passed object-dtype sequences (matching Series behavior)
This warning is raised when all values in the series are N/A (even though the dtype of the series is correct).

Note: the warning is not raised when one of the values in the series is not NA

Expected Behavior

No FutureWarning should be raised.
