how best to say that a kanji such as 句 has ONLY 音読み , i.e., there is NO kun-
yomi.

読みは音読みのみ

??

I want to tag posts at <https://www.facebook.com/kanjirecog> to indicate this
without using romaji or English ... is のみ the best way to say ONLY here ?

how to say a kanji is ON-yomi ONLY
Native speaker here (if that means anything).

「読みは音読みのみ」 is surely grammatical and it conveys perfectly what needs to be
said. However, it might sound a little awkward to some people with three み's
(and two 読み's) in such a short phrase. 「のみ」 itself is a very good word choice
even though it is adding another み and this is clearly no place for the
informal 「だけ」.

I am going to say that you could keep it as is. It is not as though one would
need to say 「読みは音読みのみ」 three times in a row in one breath.

Other suggestions:

「訓読みはありません。」

「音読みのみ（です）。」
